Hi, I'm sleep deprived too ;-). My case is worse though. I have a new powerbook, I have installed the benH kernel (2.4.19rc3-ben0 from the binary though): when I close the lid it seems to put the machine to sleep (although the "breathing light" does not go on).. when I open the lid the machine simply stays like that. No life signs whatsoever. No matter what I do, click, type, whatever I don't know how to make it wake up.
It is in some kind of suspended mode because the power button doesn't inmediately turn it on, I have to push it for a while as if I was to hard turn it off and then turn it on back again. Note this happens both on X and on console, I have both pmud and powerbuttonsd running. Can you tell me which of versions of those are you running? any special config? If anybody has any suggestions I'm willing to try it out. Thanks, Platy ps. maybe compiling from source would do the trick?
